Re: Service programs: navigation

This leads to another point that has bothered me. How is the inventory of Service Program functions documented? How does a programmer navigate through the dozens of service programs and find the one that is exactly right? Or, not finding one exactly right, does s/he write a new one, modify an existing one, or copy and change an existing one? In early days that would seem like not much of a task, but after 8 years and 15 different programmers involved, it must become a bird's nest?

I prefer this but it can make debugging a little hard (even with your
example) since you won't ever see the value ibeamWeight() returns.
